-If this is not the case and the diffraction image on the screen is the same as the one you would see when we had a photofilm, everything is fine. If this is the case, you have to keep it in mind for the following steps.+If this is not the case and the diffraction image on the screen is the same as the one you would see when you had a photofilm, everything is fine. But if it is the case, it makes it more complicated.

-I guess in most setups the rotation axis of ω is pointing to the top or to the bottom (see figure 1). Other directions just make no sense. From this you can conclude that the shadow in our diffraction image has to be either on the right or on the left side of the image. With this information you can already exclude 4 out of the 8 possible orientations.+I guess in most setups the rotation axis of ω is pointing to the top or to the bottom (like the Z-direction in figure 1).

-Let's assume ​we observe that it is rotated ​**counterclockwise** when we look at it from topThis means that the image at ω1 = -20° should see a shadow on the left side. Think about it carefully and try to follow and understand this conclusion.+For this example, let's assume it comes **from top**. Knowing where the beamstop is located, you can exclude two more possible orientations.

-After excluding another two of the possible orientations,​ we are left with only two possibilitiesTo find out the right one, you can compare your image with a still image which you took before ​or afterwards. Are there any features which are remarkable, such as a broken pixel on the detector or any other feature which you can see in every image? ​You can also compare ​the image at ω = 0° to see if there are recognizable diamond spots.+Watch the sample stage carefully while it is rotatingIs it rotating clockwise ​or counterclockwise during ​the image acquisition?
